Global mapping of antibiotic resistance rates among clinical isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Minocycline and cefiderocol can be considered the preferred treatment options due to low resistance rates, although regional differences in resistance rates to other antibiotics should be considered. The low global prevalence of resistance to TMP-SMX as a first-line treatment for S. maltophilia suggests that it remains an effective treatment option.
